One of the things that I have heard several people say since the Patriots loss to the Colts is that now we Pats fans know how Yankees fans felt.

It's a good point. The Colts beat the Pats, the team that had tortured them for so long, coming back from the largest deficit in AFC championship history. There are some similarities to the Sox in 2004. And the sinking feeling I had in the second half of the game on Sunday had to be somewhat like what Yanks fans felt as the Sox took the AL pennant.

Of course, the Patriots only beat on the Colts for about five years, as compared to the 86 years that Red Sox fans had to put up with.
